Beschreibungen
1. Is thought detrimental? - 15 August 1965 Duration: 63 minutes • Why does one seek pleasure? • Can the mind only face facts and not thought? • Why have I never said, 'Thought is poison,' to myself? • Meeting something one doesn't know, facing something which has no answer. • Acting without knowing. • What is a state of mind which is silent? • Time is detrimental. • Are we twisting everything to our core of pleasure? 2. Am I aware of the process of thinking? - 18 August 1965 Duration: 60 minutes • Can I see that thought is destructive, except where it is essential? • Why is it that we don't see something immediately? • Do you know when you are thinking? • Is the thing that we call thinking, thinking at all? • Do you think from the background noise when a problem arises? • When the mind becomes totally aware of the background, is there thinking when a problem arises? • What happens when I am aware of this hum, this noise incessantly going on? • Is the background noise different from the observer? • How am I to live an everyday life with complete silence? 3. What will make me see that thought breeds frustration? - 21 August 1965 Duration: 78 minutes • What is the function of thought? • Can the mind see the fact that thought will always breed frustration? • Function is necessary, but function with status, position and power must breed frustration. • Without frustration thought says to itself, 'I am not seeking. I don't want anything.' • If there is no thought, what happens? • The very perception of the limitation of thought is the act of opening the door, rather than thought opening the door. • To function without prestige, without frustration, that itself is an extraordinary state, meaning to function without self-centred activity. 4. From where do attachment and detachment come? - 24 August 1965 Duration: 65 minutes • What is the relationship of the brain to the totality of the mind? • Fear of not being, fear of isolation, fear of not having pleasure, fear of having no relationship, is the soil from which the stem of contradiction grows. • I want to be free of this stem to see what happens if there is no attachment, no detachment, because I am not afraid. • Is there a peace with no entity saying, 'I am peaceful'? 5. A complete stillness - 25 August 1965 Duration: 65 minutes • Is there a single movement that will completely transform my whole way of life? • The passion is there but the perfume doesn't take place. What am I to do? • Am I in a position of a man who for the first time is walking on a road by himself and discovering? • Does one know what a complete stillness means? • It is only from a very still mind that a mutation takes place. • Is there an ending to thought, therefore an ending to time? • If I have no thought and therefore no time, and so no wasting of energy, there is no movement, therefore there is complete stillness. • Is it possible to look at everything without thought, therefore without time, J. KRISHNAMURTI and so walk with silence? 6. When the mind is completely quiet, how can there be time? - 29 August 1965 Duration: 85 minutes • What does time mean to you, as a human being? • Is there such thing as existence? • Quietness has come because I have understood the nature of time, function, thought and pleasure. • What takes place when there is great intensity? • Thought has a movement in function. Here there is no movement which thought can recognise, because thought is not coming into this at all. • When time comes to an end, is there distance and space? • If you look at the mountain without the layer of thought as function, as the experiencer, what is space? •
J. KRISHNAMURTI Jiddu Krishnamurti (May 12, 1895–February 17, 1986) was a world renowned writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual subjects. His subject matter included: the purpose of meditation, human relationships, the nature of the mind, and how to enact positive change in global society. Krishnamurti was born into a Telugu Brahmin family in what was then colonial India. In early adolescence, he had a chance encounter with prominent occultist and high-ranking theosophist C.W. Leadbeater in the grounds of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras (now Chennai). He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, leaders of the Society at the time, who believed him to be a "vehicle" for an expected World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved the world-wide organization (the Order of the Star) established to support it. He claimed allegiance to no nationality, caste, religion, or philosophy, and spent the rest of his life traveling the world as an individual speaker, speaking to large and small groups, as well as with interested individuals. He authored a number of books, among them The First and Last Freedom, The Only Revolution, and Krishnamurti's Notebook. :" In addition, a large collection of his talks and discussions have been published. At age 90, he addressed the United Nations on the subject of peace and awareness, and was awarded the 1984 UN Peace Medal. His last public talk was in Madras, India, in January 1986, a month before his death at home in Ojai, California. His supporters, working through several non-profit foundations, oversee a number of independent schools centered on his views on education – in India, England and the United States – and continue to transcribe and distribute many of his thousands of talks, group and individual discussions, and other writings, publishing them in a variety of formats including print, audio, video and digital formats as well as online, in many languages.
